Specific heat is another physical property of matter. All matter has a temperature associated with it. The temperature of matter is a direct measure of the motion of the molecules: The greater the motion the higher the temperature:



Motion requires energy: The more energy matter has the higher temperature it will also have. Typicall this energy is supplied by heat. Heat loss or gain by matter is equivalent energy loss or gain.

With the observation above understood we con now ask the following question: by how much will the temperature of an object increase or decrease by the gain or loss of heat energy? The answer is given by the specific heat (S) of the object. The specific heat of an object is defined in the following way: Take an object of mass m, put in x amount of heat and carefully note the temperature rise, then S is given by



In this definition mass is usually in either grams or kilograms and temperatture is either in kelvin or degres Celcius. Note that the specific heat is "per unit mass". Thus, the specific heat of a gallon of milk is equal to the specific heat of a quart of milk. A related quantity is called the heat capacity (C). of an object. The relation between S and C is C = (mass of obect) x (specific heat of object). A table of some common specific heats and heat capacities is given below:

Some common specific heats and heat capacities: Substance S (J/g 0C) C (J/0C) for 100 g Air 1.01 101 Aluminum 0.902 90.2 Copper 0.385 38.5 Gold 0.129 12.9 Iron 0.450 45.0 Mercury 0.140 14.0 NaCl 0.864 86.4 Ice 2..03 203 Water 4.179 417.9   

Consider the specific heat of copper , 0.385 J/g 0C. What this means is that it takes 0.385 Joules of heat to raise 1 gram of copper 1 degree celcius. Thus, if we take 1 gram of copper at 25 0C and add 1 Joule of heat to it, we will find that the temperature of the copper will have risen to 26 0C. We can then ask: How much heat wil it take to raise by 1 0C 2g of copper?. Clearly the answer is 0.385 J for each gram or 2x0.385 J = 0.770 J. What about a pound of copper? A simple way of dealing with different masses of matter is to dtermine the heat capacity C as defined above. Note that C depends upon the size of the object as opposed to S that does not.

We are not in position to do some calculations with S and C.

Example 1: How much energy does it take to raise the temperature of 50 g of copper by 10 0C?



Example 2: If we add 30 J of heat to 10 g of aluminum, by how much will its temperature increase?

 



Thus, if the initial temperture of the aluminum was 20 0C then after the heat is added the temperature will be 28.3 0C.

Mass of One Water Molecule? The answer says the mass of one water molecule is 2.99 X 10^-23
zmey [24]
The mass of one mole of water it is 18 amu, but you need to find the mass of a molecule of water, therefore you calculate the mass of one mole of water, which is 18 amu and you divided by Avogadro's number which is 6,022 x 10^23. The result is 2,989 x 10^-23. Hope I helped you. If you have any questions ask :) Good luck.

56.5 g of sodium nitrate is dissolved in water to make 627 g of solution . what is the percent sodium nitrate in the solution
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

9.01%

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of sodium nitrate, NaNO3 = 56.5g

Mass of solution = 627g

The percentage composition of sodium nitrate, NaNO3 in the solution can be obtained as follow:

Percentage composition of NaNO3 = Mass of NaNO3/mass of solution x 100

Percentage composition of NaNO3 = 56.5/627 x 100 = 9.01%

Therefore, the percentage composition of sodium nitrate, NaNO3 in the solution is 9.01%

Calculate the change in enthalpy for the following reaction, using the bond enthalpy data provided below. (Note: you may round t
aliina [53]

Answer:

-514 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The bond enthalpy which is also known as bond energy can be defined as the amount of energy needed to split one mole of the stated bond. The change in enthalpy of a given reaction can be estimated by subtracting the sum of the bond energies of the reactants from the sum of the bond energies of the products.

For the given chemical reaction, the change in enthalpy of the reaction is:

ΔH_{rxn} = [2(409) + 4(388) + 3(496) - 4(630) - 4(463)] kJ/mol = 818 + 1552 + 1488 - 2520 - 1852 = -514 kJ/mol
